There is a long way from being an enthusiastic guitar beginner to mastering this amazing instrument, but our 10 easiest famous songs to play on guitar can be a good stepping stone on that path.

Contrary to the popular belief, most famous songs are not so difficult to play. The simplicity in music doesn’t have to be bad, and the simple songs are often those who stuck the most. The simplest notes combined often have the catchiest result. Just think of drum intro in Queen’s “We Will Rock You”. It can be pulled off basically by a toddler, and still, it stands as one of the most recognizable and famous intros in modern music.
